I think the important thing is to make sure you don't hurt yourself, dancing classes caused me sciatica lol
Omg I am too old for dancing! Lol. The academy will teach me everything Korean! I get to learn how to write Korean calligraphy, watch Korean films about the war, learn taekwondo from a Korean master, learn how to apply Korean makeup, yes learn choreography and do a dance off, do a hanbok fashion show, cook Korean food for graduation, be filmed and photographed for social media, etc. I am so lucky to have made the cut as apparently there is a waiting list too for this academy! The first assignment came through today, ie do a ppt intro presentation for class. I thought, oh no. I am retired so my old laptop is kaput. Then I googled and uploaded free ppt to my iPad! Wow! Homework done. But now I am truly obsessing about my face as no way do I pass for a high school student. Lol.

@MissOrange Oh my! This sounds so exciting! I am thinking of learning Kpop dance to lose weight but never got around doing it as I am scared that I do not have the stamina for it. Maybe I should just go ahead and do it!!!

@MissOrange How is your arm lipo results now?
Hi @Fortunecat, it has been 6 months since arm lipo and my arms are still skinnier than before lipo. My left arm is 9.5 inches and my right 10.5 inches as of yesterday, which means they are half an inch less in circumference than pre-op. But I am 2 lbs heavier now than pre-op (to help my facial FG thrive), so for my arms to still be thinner than pre-op is amazing! I am so tempted to try mini thigh lift with Dr O next. I keep looking at Dr Bednar’s fb group photos and wondering whether I need fat lipo skimming to build up my post explant breasts. Sigh. Now that my upper arms are sorted, it draws the focus to other areas of the body! Lol

Go for it @Fortunecat. I tried to learn a k pop dance on IG and recorded it in slow motion! But combining the arms and leg movements is so difficult and I was out of breath after 24 seconds! Lol
 
@MissOrange . New here, first off wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience with surgeries both good and bad in-depth here. You look absolutely beautiful.

I had a question- you mentioned you had not so good results from fat grafting previously and that a Dr. at MVP was able to fix? Did he remove previous fat grafting from your face via excision or microcannula?

I ask because I am trying to find a Dr in Korea who is comfortable with removing fat grafting lumps from a previous surgery.

@MissOrange I am tempted to do the mini lipo on my arms. My last visit to Evita Clinic, the surgeon rejected to do the arms lipo for me. Hmm...

I would highly recommend upper arm lipo @Fortunecat! Especially for batwings. Dr O showed me my preop photos from the back and my upper arms looked much worse from the back! So pleased I can forget about my upper arms and wear sleeveless dresses! The recovery takes time as the tumescent fluid took up to 3 months to reabsorb for me for the final results. Let me find my tv interview photos of my postop arms. These were at 3 months postop.

Now I am obsessing over my inner thighs. 5 fgs liposuctioned from my inner thighs have left the skin saggy and lumpy. I am waiting it out to 3 months for my thighs to heal and then reassess if I need mini thigh lift. I would say don't do lipo more than twice to avoid lumps and saggy skin.

Hi @kinto, welcome to the PF!

I am sorry to hear you have facial fat lumps. My fat graft was fixed by reshaping and placing fg in more strategic sites. No microincisions. Before my face fg left me with a very round face with overfilled cheeks. Dr Seo reshaped my face with fg so it would be more oval. I don't know what he did while I was under, but he made it look fab Feb 2018. This time I have a longer facial recovery as I had the trauma of 6 threads put in and then removed as I was so anxious my immune system would react. Weight gain is helping to slowly get rid of the marionette lines which got worse post thread removal.

Better without makeup which is rare - brunette for sure.
Thanks @Teina. If I lived in Korea, I would definitely go back to black or brunette. However living in the UK makes life difficult with dark hair. With blonde hair, no one speaks slowly to me like I was a foreigner or asks me where I am from and cars let me in when I drive or stop so I can cross the road. With dark hair, I felt invisible and if I said good morning when I entered a shop, I would get silence back! And if I went to pay they would serve the person behind me or ask me to go to another till. The UK is definitely biased against foreigners just like Korea is biased against foreigners. lol. In Korea last month I was told to come back in 2 hours as the keb bank was having a lunch break?! I looked at the korean customers being served and thought there is no closed sign? How can a bank be closed for 2 hours if it is only open from 9-4? So I got mad and said 'Jonan hangug saram iyeyo!' The bank staff then said come this way and I was served immediately!

There is a high price to pay for a year of bleaching, as I have lost 2/3 of the bulk of my hair! I barely have enough hair to put in a ponytail! I am taking daily vitamin D and calcium now to help my hair grow.
